Every bid which is conditional or obscure, or which is not accompanied by a Department of Administrative Services Prequalification Certificate (If applicable - See Article 1.1) and Update Statement, or which contains any addition not called for, shall be invalid, and the awarding authority shall reject every such bid. The awarding authority shall be authorized to waive minor irregularities which he considers in the best interest of the State, provided the reasons for any such waiver are stated in writing by the awarding authority and made a part of the contract file.

The bid price shall be the price set forth in the space provided on the bid form. No bid shall be rejected (1) because of error in setting forth the name of a subcontractor as long as the subcontractor or subcontractors designated are clearly identifiable, or (2) because the plans and specifications do not accompany the bid or are not submitted with the bid. Each bid must be accompanied by a certified check made payable to "Treasurer, State of Connecticut," or the bid must be accompanied by a bid bond, in the form required by the awarding authority, having as surety thereto such surety company or companies acceptable to the Commissioner of the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and as are authorized to do business in this State, for an amount not less than 10 percent of the bid.
